Hi the legal age for marriage was 12 for girls and 14 for boys until 1929 when the marriage act came in. |

sorry for delay...aol playing up....yes ...you`re right-i was wrong...that was margarets BABTISM date....so she could have been 3-4 when she was babtised,,...seems more likely....so although i think i may have found margaret,i`ll have to check on marriage certificate if its the same margaret(parents john and ann griffiths) on marriage certificate....if it is,and some of margarets children went to liverpool with her,,this could open up my tree for a lot of oakes`s in liverpool being related....worth the £7.00....thanks again...if anyone has any thoughts,i`ll gladly take them aboard....regards..allan |

Allan Sorry, but you won't get a marriage cert! (Pre registration)You will have to look at the original parish registers to see the marriage. OC |
